Deadline to protect trees
By DAVID TAURANGA
Two community leaders
are concerned that
people don t know about
their right to nominate
trees for protection
under Auckland Coun-
cil s district plan.
In 2009, the Resource
Management Act was
changed, removing exist-
ing general protection
rules for trees in urban
areas in district plans.
Those changes come
into effect from January
2012 , but people have
until tomorrow to ident-
ify trees for protection.
Hill Park residents
Colleen Brown and Eliz-
abeth Barrowman say
people are totally
unaware of the changes.
People don t know
they can nominate trees
on any property, not just
their own, she says.
Some think because
Hill Park is a heritage 8
area for example, the
designation includes the
trees but we believe it
only covers homes not
the environment.
Ms Brown and Ms
Barrowman found people
were interested, con-
cerned and willing to
talk to others in the
wider community in a
bid to get nominations
lodged. But they are con-
cerned for older people
and those who rent
properties who may be
unaware of their rights
and how to exercise
them.
Only trees in out-
standing condition that
are renowned for their
heritage and contri-
bution to the community
landscape will be con-
sidered.
Visit a library, local
board office or the
website www.auckland
council. govt.nz for
nomination forms.
School wins despite setbacks

Strong finish: Veronica Maynard of Papakura High School wins
her 400m at the Special Olympics Schools Athletics Ribbon Day.
'
There was fierce
competition, especially
on the track.

Dave Beattie
Between Bryce Lee racing
with a broken arm and Ver-
onica Maynard and her
expensive but impractical
shoes, Papakura High
School s Special Olympics
athletes did well to pull off a
highly successful run at an
athletics ribbon day.
Head of learning Gay
Nichol says the school might
have had one of the smaller
teams at last Thursday s rib-
bon day at Grower s Stadium
in Pukekohe but that didn t
stop them from winning some
of the major events.
Our kids just excelled in
every way, Mrs Nichol says.
We d been training all this
year, aiming to execute tech-
nique and tactic rather than
speed which definitely paid
off for us.
Papakura High s team of
20 athletes aged 13-21
managed to produce the win-
ning male and female relay
teams.
Lee, a track runner who
helped take out the male
relay, broke his arm before
the big day but managed to
get clearance from his doctor
to race.
Maynard had borrowed her
mother s pair of trainers --
worth about $400. But after
finding them more of a hin-
drance than a help, she
ditched them and ran bare-
foot for the rest of the day.
She won all three of her
remaining races.
Rosehill Special School s
50-strong team of athletes
fared well too with all
students bringing home
medals and the satisfaction of
beating their personal best
times.
Special Olympics New Zea-
land Counties Manukau
regional coordinator Dave
Beattie says athlete attend-
ance was up by 100 to 244
participants from 14 schools.
There was a great turnout
among athletes, their parents
and grandparents which was
very pleasing, Mr Beattie
says. The next Special
Olympics meet will be all
about football on June 8 at
McLennan Park in Papakura.
IN BRIEF
$500 donation
The Angelslight Breakfast
Club has been given a helping
hand by police.
The Papakura organisation
received a donation of $500
from the Police Managers
Guild Trust. Club founder and
co-ordinator Bronca Fox and
her daughter Ehana received
the cheque from senior
sergeant Gaylene Rogers.
The club provides breakfast
to hungry children at five
schools -- Takanini, Edmund
Hillary, Mansell Senior
School, Crosgrove Primary
and Papakura High School.
Ms Fox says the $500
donation will go towards food
costs.
Go digital
Marae visitors have been told
they'll soon need to be
watching digital television if
they want to keep tuning into
their favourite shows.
Going Digital Auckland
community adviser Pila Fatu
spoke to visitors at a
Papakura Marae information
day recently and says she
received a lot of inquiries
about the switchover to digital
TV in November 2013.
She explained that although
they won't need a new TV set
they will need a set-top box
and UHF aerial to keep
watching TV when the
analogue signal is replaced.
Seven out of 10 Aucklanders
are already watching digital
TV, she says.

website at www.going
digital.co.nz or phone
0800-838-800 for more
information.
